<p><span class="user-group-mention" data-user-group-id="2403">@WG-prioritization</span> I'm starting this topic to discuss a bit about ideas on how to move <code>P-high</code> issues forward</p>

<p>we've been clearly making some progress related to this things, in particular, <code>P-critical</code> issues are clearly tracked and always fixes but I'm not sure how true is that for <code>P-high</code></p>

<p>closing all the existing <code>P-high</code> issues that we have now may seem something impossible but if we slowly try to think about ideas to make progress we may reduce them a lot</p>

<p>as a first idea that I can think of is maybe taking some small amount of issues per week, like 4, and make a nice review of those and try to see how/who can fix them or something like that</p>

<p>we could chase 2 birds <span aria-label="bird" class="emoji emoji-1f426" role="img" title="bird">:bird:</span> here:. Currently there is no way to know that a pr solves a P-critical / p-high issue without checking the issue. So if we could use the label for both it would be handy :P</p>
